I'm surprised that the V-Strom 650 XT didn't get any love! I seriously considered it and, if this Tiger hadn't come up at this time, I probably would have gone for one.ย 

Triumph 400X - very new, I'd probably wait until it was a year or two old to see if there were any bugs with it.

Honda Transalp 750 - dunno. Nice bike, but a bit bland?

Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT - was a serious contender. Who needs 20 rider modes?

Triumph Tiger Sport 660 - nice bike, not so nice for a pillion though!

Voge 300 Rally - maybe one day, as a second bike.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bike had a full tank of fuel when I picked it up! Every other bike that I've bought from a dealer has had just enough fuel in the tank to get to the nearest filling station! Top marks BMW Narbonne! ๐Ÿ‘

Was this a different Triumph dealer than the Scrambler?

I knew it would be a Triumph triple! Knew it wasnโ€™t the Transalp because youโ€™re still English and away from home, but thought you were chicken and went for the little engine, glad you didnโ€™t!

Whatโ€™s with it having to be be good for a pillion, though, getting rid of the wifeโ€™s bike?

I'm expecting to see posts praising the efficacy of it in the near future, no doubt Pete feels the same.

No, we're keeping Mandy's bike, but she said a little while ago about going on pillion if we head slightly farther afield, as her bike isn't really a distance machine. 200km tank range, if you're lucky!ย

This was from the BMW dealer in Narbonne.ย  The Triumph dealer in Montpellier took the piss when I looked at trading in the Scrambler for a Tiger 850 Sport, so I walked away from them!

You think their limited mental capacity had a bearing on the decision then Pedro?ย

Be better with the visor closed.

My face is in shadow though. I have got a photo where my face is clearer, but I just couldn't bring myself to subject you all to it! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

The only downside to the bike so far, is that it's got a custom seat on it, because it would appear that the previous owner was a short arse! So, at some point I'll need to look at either getting this seat modified or getting a standard seat to put on it.ย
